Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Classical conditioning

His scientific interests lie mostly in Classical conditioning, Discrimination learning, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology and Cognitive science. His research in Classical conditioning intersects with topics in Neuroscience and Habituation. His Discrimination learning study which covers Communication that intersects with Discrimination training, Stimulus, Comparator hypothesis, Retrospective revaluation and Reinforcement schedules.

His studies deal with areas such as Stimulus control, Taste aversion, Frustration and Conditioned emotional response as well as Cognitive psychology. His Developmental psychology study incorporates themes from Eyelid Conditioning, Animal learning and Cognition. The Cognitive science study combines topics in areas such as Associative learning, Learning theory and Connectionism.

His most cited work include:

  • Stimulus selection in animal discrimination learning. (355 citations)
  • Evolution of a structured connectionist model of Pavlovian conditioning (AESOP). (303 citations)
  • Effects of amount and percentage of reinforcement and number of acquisition trials on conditioning and extinction. (282 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Classical conditioning, Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology and Conditioning. His research on Classical conditioning often connects related topics like Cognitive science. His study in Stimulus and Startle response falls under the purview of Neuroscience.

His study looks at the intersection of Stimulus and topics like Communication with Speech recognition. Allan R. Wagner works mostly in the field of Cognitive psychology, limiting it down to concerns involving Reinforcement and, occasionally, Extinction and Reinforcement learning. His Developmental psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Conditioned inhibition, Stimulation, Habituation and Priming.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Classical conditioning (45.88%)
  • Neuroscience (29.41%)
  • Cognitive psychology (24.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2019)?

  • Classical conditioning (45.88%)
  • Cognitive science (12.94%)
  • Cognitive psychology (24.71%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Classical conditioning, Cognitive science, Cognitive psychology, Development and Neuroscience. Allan R. Wagner interconnects Social psychology and Artificial intelligence in the investigation of issues within Classical conditioning. His work in Cognitive science tackles topics such as Associative learning which are related to areas like Flexibility.

In his work, Habituation is strongly intertwined with Active memory, which is a subfield of Cognitive psychology. As part of his studies on Neuroscience, Allan R. Wagner often connects relevant subjects like Fear-potentiated startle. His work in the fields of Conditioning, such as Conditioned emotional response, overlaps with other areas such as Initial training.

Between 2003 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • SOP: A Model of Automatic Memory Processing in Animal Behavior (225 citations)
  • Evolution of an elemental theory of Pavlovian conditioning. (55 citations)
  • Stimulus specificity in the habituation of the startle response in the rat (21 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Classical conditioning

Allan R. Wagner focuses on Neuroscience, Priming, Computer hardware, Memory processing and Animal behavior. His research related to Startle response, Stimulus, Stimulus specificity, Moro reflex and Habituation might be considered part of Neuroscience.
